Christopher Leon, J Laconn - Maker Lyrics

I live in a vault
I hide in the dark
I'm tryna get out
I'm picking the lock
My innocence lost
Wasn't worth the cost
When I was a kid wanted to be grown
Shouldn't have gotten involved
Now I'm feeling off
Wanna run away
But it's getting late
I'll let in the dogs

I don't wanna die in the matrix
Don't know how far I can take this
But I'm a star in the making
I want my name on your bracelet
I want my hit on your playlist
I'm gonna try for your favorite
I'm gonna cry when I make it
And even though I got questions
I hope that God is my maker
I hope that God is my maker
Lately I been stressed out
I got family problems
I got lady problems
I know it ain't that obvious
Cuz when I'm out in public I act like it's cool
But this shit is getting old and I just hope for something new
I hope that I learn forgiveness
I hope that God as my witness
I can be a better man for all the people that I mentioned
Late at night, when I cry
And I reach out for that knife
Pull my hand back to my side
I choose life
I choose life
And I hope the same for you
For anybody going through it
Know that you are not alone
Feel my presence through this music, uh
Feel my presence through this music

I live in a vault
I hide in the dark
I'm tryna get out
I'm picking the lock
My innocence lost
Wasn't worth the cost
When I was a kid wanted to be grown
Shouldn't have gotten involved
Now I'm feeling off
Wanna run away
But it's getting late
I'll let in the dogs

Sunny day on the west coast
I'm makin the french toast
Unlimited bread
Yeah, that's Olive Garden
She want a piece of this meat loaf
I'm not gonna beat slow
They heard her Two Doors Down
That's Dolly Parton
Anyways, this a blessed day
I came up from that young boy in second grade
Who got pushed into lockers
Not cuz I was the smallest
But because I lived in a town that hated niggas
I was the oldest of three
So they came in after me
And it got better for them
But I took my share of beatings
I always wanted outta that town
My parents had the nerve to wonder why I was acting out
Well, now you know
And it was so hard to cope
So just to make myself happy I would start telling jokes
Cuz when you smile, it makes the pain go for awhile
But every night I realized that I would still feel alone
So I would fold my hands in prayer
Ay God, do you even care
Grew up in a fucking church
Never felt like you were there
When all that I feel is hurt
Am I not someone that you care for
Feel I'm in a cage and all I know is being scared
I know that I'm talking angry
If You real hope You forgave me
If You real I hope You come and burn this mother fucker down
I can't wait til I grow up to be that mother fucker now
I thought that I knew the world but I'm a mother fucking clown

I live in a vault
I hide in the dark
I'm tryna get out
I'm picking the lock
My innocence lost
Wasn't worth the cost
When I was a kid wanted to be grown
Shouldn't have gotten involved
Now I'm feeling off
Wanna run away
But it's getting late
I'll let in the dogs
